They're not to be confused with the [[WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet series finale]] of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.

** The comeback album ''Devastator'' is a small return to the sound from the indie pop sound of the first two albums, while expanding on the use of drum machines and sampling that were sparsely used previously.

[[caption-width-right:500:The original line-up (left to right: Creator/JasonSchwartzman, [[Music/Maroon5 Sam Farrar]], Alex Greenwald, Darren Robinson and Jacques Brautbar)]]

'''Phantom Planet''' is a UsefulNotes/LosAngeles-based {{alternative rock}} band originally formed in 1994 by formed by Alex Greenwald on guitar, and lead vocals, Sam Farrar on bass, Darren Robinson on lead guitar, Creator/JasonSchwartzman on the drums and Jacques Brautbar on guitar. Schwartzman stepped down from the band during the production of the SelfTitledAlbum in order to pursue his acting career, being replaced by Jeff Conrad, and Brautbar quit shortly after the album's release.

The band released four albums during their initial run as a band, 1998's ''Phantom Planet Is Missing'' to 2008's ''Raise the Dead''. The average listener might recognize their song "California" from their sophomore album ''The Guest'', which was used as the theme song for the series ''Series/TheOC''. The band took a hiatus by the end of 2008, having a one-off reunion in 2012 before properly reuniting in 2019 to record their fifth album ''Devastator'', which was released in mid-2020.

!!Tropes
* AlliterativeName: '''P'''hantom '''P'''lanet.
* AlliterativeTitle: "'''B'''add '''B'''usiness", "'''B'''ig '''B'''rat", "'''D'''emon '''D'''aughters" and "'''T'''hrough the '''T'''rees".
* BreakUpSong: ''Devastator'' is this as a whole.
* CutShort: "One Ray of Sunshine" does a fake ending outro right before it gets cut abruptly and transitions to "Anthem".
* DancePunk: The funky "Too Much, Too Often" from ''Raise the Dead'' is pretty much this to a tee.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cover art of ''The Guest''.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The cover art of their self-titled album, especially after two albums of the band on the cover.
* FaceOnTheCover: Their first albums ''Phantom Planet Is Missing'' and ''The Guest''. ''Raise the Dead'' is an interesting example, as it has Alex being duct taped into the wall.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: The band loves to do this a lot.
** ''Phantom Planet Is Missing'': "Lisa (Does It Hurt You?)" -- "Rest Easy";
** ''The Guest'':
*** "One Ray of Sunshine" -- "Anthem";
*** "Nobody's Fault" -- "All Over Again" -- "Wishing Well" -- "Something Is Wrong";
** ''Phantom Planet'': "The Happy Ending" -- "Badd Business" -- "Big Brat" -- "1st Things 1st" -- "Making a Killing";
** ''Raise the Dead'':
*** "Raise the Dead" -- "Dropped";
*** "Do the Panic" -- "Quarantine" -- "Ship Lost at Sea" -- "Demon Daughters" -- "Geronimo" -- "Too Much, Too Often".
* HiddenTrack: After the end of "I Don't Mind", a small keyboard coda plays before it fades out.
* LyricalColdOpen: "So I Fall Again", "Recently Distressed", "Lonely Day", "One Ray of Sunlight", "Nobody's Fault" and "Dear Dead End".
* MinisculeRocking: A few of their songs in their ''Negatives'' compilations are this, mostly stemming from them being outtakes and goof offs. Examples include: "To Be Taken Seriously" (1:39), "Cross Eyes" (0:42), "Don't Cry Erika" (1:52), "Empty House" (1:23), "God Must Have Put Your Heart in Wrong" (1:01), "It's Over" (1:25), "Alpine Romance" (0:59), "Come Back to Your Tomb" (0:43), "March of the Spiders" (1:38), "Best Band" (0:19) and "The Snake" (0:18).
* NewSoundAlbum: Their self-titled drops their 60's-inspired {{power pop}} of their first two albums in favor of a darker {{garage rock}}-oriented sound, akin to bands like Music/TheStrokes and Music/TheHives.
** The comeback album ''Devastator'' is a small return to the sound from the indie pop sound of the first two albums, while expanding on the use of drum machines and sampling that were sparsely used previously.
* PrecisionFStrike: "So I Fall Again" by the first line of the second chorus.
* {{Portmantitle}}: "Knowitall", "Jabberjaw".
* SelfTitledAlbum: They have one subversion, ''Phantom Planet Is Missing'', ''and'' one straight example.
* ShoutOut: Their name was taken from the 1961 ScienceFiction film ''Film/ThePhantomPlanet''.
* StudioChatter:
** Some steps and a random voice can be heard in the last few seconds of "Something Is Wrong";
** "Confess" ends with Alex briefly laughing out loud.
* TitleTrack: "Raise the Dead". Oddly subverted with ''The Guest'', since the title track didn't appear on the proper album, being instead relegated to a BSide in the "California" single and later being released in the deluxe edition of the album and their outtakes compilation ''Negatives 2''.
